White House Carpets.

At last the East room is to have a new car
pet, and President and Mrs. Cleveland will
have the pleasure of seeing the American
people enjoy it to their hearts content. The
old one having been worn to the floor in sew
eraf places, new one has been purchased,
which is of rich cream ground, relieved by
a bewildering profusion of woven flowers and
vines rich in color. The East room, where
Mrs. John Quincy Adams used to dry her
clothes on Mondays, and where, in later
day, gallons of rum punch were partially con-
sumed and partially spilled and partially
trampled into the carpeted floor, is eighty
feet long and forty feet wide. The carpet,
which yields up the unequal contest of 1887,
weighs 1880 pounds or nearly ton. 1t was
cleaned by machine process in 1886 for the
first time, the machine having breadth Of
forty-two feet. All previous cleanings have
been done by hand. The State dining room
which is forty feet long by thirty feet wide

The Homes of England.

1t is very delightful to find ones self in one
OF these English country residences. The
house is commonly old, and has history It
is oftentimes itself record, like that old
farm house my friend, JOHN Bellows, wrote to
me about, which chronicled half a dozen
reigns by architectural marks as exactly as if
it had been an official register. "The stately
homes Of England" as we see them at Wilton
and Longford castle, are not more admirable
in their splendors than "the blessed homes Of
England" in their modest beauty. Every
where one may see there old parsonages by
the side Of ivy mantled churches, and the
comfortable mansions where generations of
country squires have lived in peace, while
their sons have gone forth to fight Englands
battles and carry her fags of war and COM
merce all over the world. We in America
can hardly be said to have such possession
as a family home. We encamp-not under
canvas, but in fabrics of wood or more last
ing materials, which are pulled down after a
brief occupancy by the builders, and possibly
their children, or are modernized so that the
former dwellers in them would never recog-
nize their old habitations-Oliver Wendell

PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT.

Senator Sherman has been appointed
director of the Washington Monumental
association in place of the late General
Dunn.
John Boyle O'Reilly is passing the SUM-
mer in comfortable and roomy old house
at Hull, Mass. He has recovered his health
and strength and resumed his editorial
duties.
Few occupations are left in which men
are only competitors. Miss Bessie Appel,
of Hartford, Conn, leased the Bay View
house at Nantucket this season, and has
shown great ability as hotel manager.
Prince Ferdinand, of Coburg, the COM
ing prince of Bulgaria, bears very re-
markable likeness to the earlier portraits
of Louis XIV. If he is not very careful
his monarchical career may strongly re-
semble that of Louis XVI.
Governor Green, of New Jersey, is at
tracing good deal of attention at New
port. He is short, thickset man, with 6
handsome, ford face, white mustache and
clear-cut features. He is polished anG

very often with rich results. Many an an

SUNDAY MEANS A CESSATION OF
BUSINESS

To-day is Sunday let every saloon and
other business places, except those .ex-
pressly exempted by the law, be closed up
in accordance with the new Sunday law
that went into effect some few weeks ago
The fact that prohibition has failed to
become law does not change existing
laws, all OF which are in effect, just al
though there had been no election on the
question of prohibition. The citizens OF
Austin and of the state generally are nov
very much aroused on this ques-
ton /; they have tried to make
the liquor traffic in Texas illegal, they
have failed, but they are bent on seeing
that the traffic is now carried on accord
ing to and not in violation of the law
We do not know how the saloonmen o
Austin regard the question of re-openinl
their saloons on Sunday, or whether the.
have come to any decision in the matter
but we give them fair warning that tn
temper of the people will not admit of il
and the people are right. There can b
no reason why this class of bushes
should be exempted from the exaction

II Has been extremely gratifying to the
soliciting committee on the interstate
drill and dedication not only to receive, as
they have done, subscriptions from almost
every man they have approached, but also
enthusiastic words of encouragement from
some of our enterprising and solid mer-
chants, who, after putting down their
names for a couple of shares of stock,
have said to the committee "We think
there is big money in this thing for Aus
tin, and if you have any trouble in get
ting all the shares taken, come back and
we will take few more"

Miss CAss, of London, has prosecuted
the policeman who arrested her for per-
jury. When woman once gets started
she generally plays the Old Harry. But,
really, Miss Cass is right. The policeman,
in having her arrested, swore she was not
virtuous. She has amply proven the
falsity of the charge, and she ought to
make the officer Smoke for his perjury.
If there is anything in the world that
should be sacredly guarded it is woman's
reputation.

d. 3. t. must have been heard in
Chicago when the boodlers fell into that
pitfall always set for, but OF late 40 rarely
catching, the swindlers and large money
grabbers Of the land. A few more trials
and convictions, and little more driving
home the stern fact that these criminals
are not really "high toned" fellows and 10
be treated as gentlemen, but that they are
squarely on the level with any common
thief and pickpocket, and that their pun
ishment and disgrace will be as sure and
equitable, as in the case OF the latter,
and the trade in aldermen and
the gentlemanly cashier business will sud.
denly come up with very sharp halt.
